Thoughts on Grimoire Cards not returning in Destiny2?

My name is Byf made a video on the topic.

Haha that would be pretty crazy, someone sets up an in-game coffee shop and bar next to it, and you and a bunch people are just reading and discussing lore

Wait, you are BYF? As in the guy who makes the lore vids, and the guy I just spoke with the other day totally unawares?

NO! I am NOT My Name Is Byf. I do make lore videos, but I am not Byf.

How would you react if I was?

Seriously, I’d NEVER log off. :grin:

Oh, because I probably would have asked you a bunch of questions and shook my head at listing lore points to someone who knows it probably as well as I. And yeah, I would also have been pretty happy about it. Have been making lore connections to guys on youtube for a while to help better expand and connect the Destiny community - already secured a partership with Destinyfollowe a.k.a Destiny Guides and Evade.

I watched this the other day. Poor Byf :cry:

Myelin Games also did some coverage on it as well. It was interesting hearing both of their thoughts. I’ve been watching both of them for a long time now. It would be sad to see them go.

Ya it really would. Great channels leaving because of Bungie’s bad idea.

I loved reading the fantastically written grimoire cards in my free time.
It seriously enriched my Destiny experience.
I will miss the grimoire immensely.

THAT SOUNDS AMAZING.
I would love to have a lore library in-game!

While not an uber gamer myself (read: unlocked many but not all of the Grimoire Cards,) I blame lazy players who wanted the story literally spelled out for them instead of actually earning each nugget and piece of “three 1,000 piece puzzles with only 750 pieces to work with.”

I hope in the new iteration of Lore that whatever its format, the data/lore/hints will be just as cryptic and piece-meal as before. Using our imaginations to fill in the gaps with suppositions only added to the entertainment and mystery of the Lore.

Fully agreed. It’s arguably what made Destiny 1 what it is, apart from the salt.

OK so I know I’m late to the party but I gotta say its BS that the grimoire cards are gone even though this scanning thing is a interesting way to tell the lore I think they should have done both mainly because the cabal came in and took everyone’s immortality away and started a genocide across the solar system so where are all the dead ghosts?

I have mixed feelings about the removal of grimoire cards from Destiny 2. It gets rid of a clunky and slightly redundant way of storytelling that was only added in due to Destiny’s, um… ridiculous lack of in-game content. When I first started playing Destiny just after the April Update (Don’t judge me. I came late to the party, that’s all.), I was undeniably happy about this library of game lore that I could access anywhere I was without having to start up Destiny itself. It gave me something to read when I was bored or curious while away from my Xbox where I couldn’t play Destiny. I thoroughly enjoyed it. But I also thought they should have made that lore available in-game and in the real world somehow, maybe through a terminal in a social space or such. U*nfortunately, that never happened, but I continue to make good use of the Grimoire even after it’s ended through services like this one. I am also quite disappointed by the lack of a companion Grimoire-style system in Destiny 2 that saves the items you scan or the little tabs of info on the Exotics and certain Legendaries. This means that every time you want to write down or log the information about any scannable or item, its a little more than just a button press away. It might seem small, but when you have to go through a lot of them, the time stacks up (trust me). All in all, I am happy they finally implemented the lore in-game, but am also incredibly disappointed in the lack of a replacement system to fill the void left by the Grimoire cards.

Yeah, it’s a double-edged sword kinda?
It has positves and negatives but I still really miss the grimoire.
